By digitizing slides and using advanced imaging technologies, pathologists can collaborate more effectively, share cases for consultation, and perform detailed analysis that was not possible with traditional microscopy.
Track 8 : Hair Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment Options
Effective treatments for some types of hair loss are available. You might be able to reverse hair loss, or at least slow it. With some conditions, such as patchy hair loss (alopecia areata), hair may regrow without treatment within a year. Treatments for hair loss include medications and surgery. If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary. If a certain medication is causing the hair loss, your doctor may advise you to stop using it for a few months.Medications are available to treat pattern (hereditary) baldness. The most common options include Minoxidil (Rogaine). Over-the-counter (nonprescription) minoxidil comes in liquid, foam and shampoo forms. To be most effective, apply the product to the scalp skin once daily for women and twice daily for men. Many people prefer the foam applied when the hair is wet. Products with minoxidil help many people regrow their hair or slow the rate of hair loss or both. It'll take at least six months of treatment to prevent further hair loss and to start hair regrowth. It may take a few more months to tell whether the treatment is working for you. If it is helping, you'll need to continue using the medicine indefinitely to retain the benefits.
Track 9 : Atopic Dermatitis: Updates on Pathophysiology and Management
Atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema) is a chronic relapsing and remitting inflammatory skin disease affecting one in 10 people in their lifetime. Atopic dermatitis is caused by a complex interaction of immune dysregulation, epidermal gene mutations, and environmental factors that disrupts the epidermis causing intensely pruritic skin lesions. Repeated scratching triggers a self-perpetuating itch-scratch cycle, which can have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. The American Academy of Dermatology has created simple diagnostic criteria based on symptoms and physical examination findings. Maintenance therapy consists of liberal use of emollients and daily bathing with soap-free cleansers. Use of topical corticosteroids is the first-line treatment for atopic dermatitis flare-ups. Pimecrolimus and tacrolimus are topical calcineurin inhibitors that can be used in conjunction with topical corticosteroids as first-line treatment.
Track 10 : Dermatologic Surgery: Techniques and Complication Management
Dermatologic surgical procedures in the lower extremity may lead to complications for podiatric patients. Sharing insights from their experience and the literature, these authors discuss how to prevent complications including infection, coagulation issues, wound dehiscence, scarring and pain.Complications during dermatologic surgery are not uncommon events and taking the correct steps early in management can prevent significant morbidity for the patient. Although there are stringent postoperative protocols to combat improper wound healing, it is important to be aware of the potential surgical complications that may arise with patients.Surgical complications may range from life-threatening to acute with potential complications including cardiorespiratory arrest, anaphylaxis and cardiac arrhythmias. Complications also may be limited to improper wound healing due to superinfection, wound dehiscence and necrosis, or an undesirable aesthetic outcome of a scar. Proper patient history gathering prior to any surgical procedure is fundamental to minimizing serious complications. Adhering to proper sterile technique during surgical procedures in combination with thorough postoperative instructions is key to preventing complications from dermatologic surgeries.1 Conducting dermatologic surgeries with careful consideration of the potential complications that may arise is an effective prevention measure.
Track 11 : Cutaneous Drug Reactions: Identification and Management Strategies
Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR), also known as toxidermia, are skin manifestations resulting from systemic drug administration. These reactions range from mild erythematous skin lesions to much more severe reactions such as Lyell's syndrome. They represent a heterogeneous field, including various clinical patterns without specific features suggesting drug causality. This activity describes the evaluation and management of cutaneous adverse drug reactions and explains the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with this condition. Most systemic drugs are potential causes of cutaneous adverse reactions. Contrast media and certain drug classes are known to be common offenders, such as antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antineoplastic drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and allopurinol. Antibiotics and anti-epileptics develop toxidermia complications in 1% to 5% of treatments. There are multiple mechanisms that account for the variability in drug reactions. They can be classified into two general categories: immunologic and nonimmunologic. It is often necessary to test for potential allergens to further classify drug reaction etiology. The most common testing methods include epicutaneous patch testing, prick testing, and intradermal testing. In vivo or in vitro tests are unable to confirm the drug causality.
Track 12 : Dermatologic Emergencies: Recognition and Immediate Management
Dermatologic emergencies encompass a range of conditions that require prompt recognition and management to prevent serious complications. These emergencies can include severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, as well as life-threatening skin conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis.Recognition of dermatologic emergencies involves identifying key symptoms and signs, such as widespread skin blistering, extensive rash, or rapidly progressing skin changes. Immediate management may include discontinuation of suspected medications, administration of intravenous fluids and medications (such as corticosteroids or antihistamines), and referral to a dermatologist or emergency department for further evaluation and care.It's crucial for healthcare providers to be familiar with the recognition and management of dermatologic emergencies, as early intervention can significantly improve outcomes and prevent serious complications.
Track 13 : Ethnic Skin: Unique Considerations in Diagnosis and Treatment
Ethnic skin refers to the unique characteristics and considerations related to skin health and treatment in individuals with non-Caucasian ancestry. People of different ethnicities can have varying skin types, colors, and responses to treatments, making it essential for dermatologists to understand these differences when diagnosing and treating skin conditions.Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that appears on the face, generally the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead and upper lip and sometimes on other sun-exposed parts of the body, such as the forearms. It is similar in appearance to age spots but the darker affected areas are larger. It is most common amongst dark skinned, Hispanic and Asian individuals: the incidence of Melasma in pregnant Mexican women has been reported to be as high as 80%. Read more about causes and treatment in Melasma.What differs between ethnicities is the level of melanocyte activity, combined with how the cells are made up and grouped together. It is these differences that result in different shades of skin. While skin of all colours can suffer from pigment disorders, they are most common, more noticeable and more of a concern for individuals of Asian, Hispanic or African origin.
Track 14 : Autoimmune Skin Diseases: Current Concepts and Future Directions
Autoimmune diseases of the skin occur when the immune system attacks normal skin. The immune system can be broadly divided into an effector arm responsible for fighting infections and cancer and a regulatory arm that reduces autoreactivity and maintains immune homeostasis. Cutaneous autoimmunity develops when the equilibrium between the effector arm and regulatory arm of the immune system is disrupted. Recent insights into the inflammatory pathways that are overactive in some cutaneous autoimmune diseases have led to therapies targeting the effector arm of the immune system with greater treatment efficacy than previously used broad immunosuppressants. The current paradigm of inhibiting excessive immune activation for treating cutaneous autoimmunity will be discussed including cytokine blockade, cellular depletion, intracellular signaling blockade and costimulatory blockade. Despite the success of this approach many cutaneous autoimmune diseases lack a clearly delineated pathway to target and therefore new strategies are needed. An emerging therapeutic strategy targeting the regulatory arm of the immune system to induce tolerance and disease remission provides new hope for treating cutaneous autoimmunity.
Track 15 : Dermatologic Care for the Aging Population
Dermatologic care for the aging population is a crucial aspect of healthcare, as the skin undergoes significant changes with age. Understanding these changes and implementing appropriate care strategies are essential for maintaining skin health and overall well-being in older adults.As people age, the skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity, and becomes more prone to dryness and wrinkling. Additionally, the skin's ability to repair itself diminishes, making it more susceptible to injury and infection. These changes can lead to an increased risk of skin conditions such as skin cancer, dermatitis, and pressure ulcers. Wound Care is Proper wound care is essential for preventing and treating pressure ulcers and other skin injuries common in older adults. Routine skin examinations by a dermatologist can help detect early signs of skin cancer and other skin conditions, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Encouraging healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular sunscreen use, a balanced diet, and smoking cessation, can help prevent skin damage and reduce the risk of skin cancer and other skin conditions.
Track 16 : Teledermatology: Enhancing Access to Dermatologic Care
Teledermatology increases access to dermatologic care, due to its cost- and time-effectiveness that benefits both providers and patients. Thus, it may prove essential for providing expanded access to many different underserved and marginalized populations in the USA and globally. Given the nation’s undersupply of dermatologists, teledermatology can potentially serve as a way for dermatologists to see more patients efficiently and increase opportunities for patients to seek high-quality dermatology care. Teledermatology has not only enhanced patient compliance and improved individualized care but has also increased access to care among rural and urban communities both domestically and internationally. Medicaid populations in particular have benefited, but other underserved communities that stand to benefit come from rural and urban communities, and elderly populations. The implementation of teledermatology has shortened appointment wait times, increased follow-up care and treatment compliance, minimized the distance needed to be travelled for care, reduced personal and health care systemic costs, and increased dermatologic knowledge among dermatology personnel. However, teledermatology’s reliance on reliable internet connections and devices could potentially worsen disparities if access to these new avenues of care is unequal.
Track 17 : Environmental Dermatology: Understanding and Mitigating Skin Damage
Environmental degradation both urban and rural expansion modify natural landscapes, restrict native vegetation coverage, modify the geography, water and waste flow, with a direct impact on biodiversityDeforestation, pasture development, crops and underground resources exploration have been historically associated with the emergence of arboviruses, zoonoses and other infectious diseases that arise in outbreaks or endemically, depending on how the deforestation is carried out. As forests are reduced (or become unbalanced) and the reservoirs of certain diseases are extinct, humans become involved in their natural cycle. Examples that emerged from this imbalance: malaria epidemics after the construction of the Panama Canal, mining and the construction of railroads in the northern region of Brazil; the yellow fever epidemic on the coast of northeastern Brazil during the 17th century sugarcane expansion and the rabies outbreak on the island of Marajó (2018), Brazil, after agricultural expansion. In Dermatology, American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) is caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, which causes skin ulcers.
Track 18 : Skin Health and Lifestyle: Nutrition and Wellness
Skin Health is intricately linked to one's lifestyle, including nutrition and overall wellness. What we eat and how we care for our bodies play a pivotal role in the appearance and health of our skin. A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids is essential for skin health. These nutrients support collagen production, skin hydration, and protection against oxidative stress. Incorporating fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fatty fish can promote a radiant complexion. Hydration is equally crucial. Drinking an adequate amount of water helps maintain skin elasticity and moisture levels. Limiting alcohol and caffeine intake, which can dehydrate the skin, is advisable. Physical activity improves blood circulation, which nourishes the skin with essential nutrients and flushes out toxins. Exercise also reduces stress, a significant contributor to skin issues like acne and eczema. Adequate sleep is vital for skin repair and rejuvenation. During deep sleep, the body releases growth hormones that aid in cell turnover and collagen synthesis. Stress management techniques, such as meditation and yoga, can mitigate the impact of stress-related skin conditions. A skincare routine tailored to one's skin type is essential.
Track 19 : Skin Aging: Scientific Insights and Anti-Aging Strategies
Skin aging is a natural and inevitable process, but scientific insights and innovative anti-aging strategies have revolutionized our understanding of this complex phenomenon. The skin, our body's largest organ, undergoes structural and functional changes over time, leading to visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Scientific research has unveiled key mechanisms driving skin aging, including collagen degradation, oxidative stress, and genetic factors. Armed with this knowledge, dermatologists and skincare experts have developed a wide range of evidence-based anti-aging strategies to combat these processes effectively. These strategies encompass advanced skincare formulations containing ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and peptides, which stimulate collagen production and protect against free radical damage. Non-invasive treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser therapy can rejuvenate the skin's appearance by promoting cellular turnover and collagen remodeling.
